I like the idea but I don't have an electric supply close by. I think if I built a house I would put one in.

Doesn't sealing the cedar defeat the purpose of a cedar lined closet?

Yes, we like the beauty of the wood far more than the bug beating benefits.

Re the urinal...nearby neighbors had a urinal installed in the (very small) basement of their (equally small) house in what could be referred to as the 'man cave'. When they listed the house for sale a while back, they listed the house as having 1.5 bathrooms! Apparently a urinal on the wall constituted a 'half bath'!

As to the bidet...no desire here. If for no other reason, I'd not want to take up that much floor space for a separate unit. I've seen some combo units, that, if the bidet is your preference, would be a far better choice - in my opinion.

It may take away the need for installing a grab bar on the wall or extra assistive devices in the future.
I have the chair height one, love it. It took me a few days to get used to it. Now when I go to my daughters I feel like I'm falling. I have problems with my back and this helps a lot. For some reason, its easier to keep clean than the normal one. I paid under 100 so that was great too.
